As a 2013 citizen of a global community and young adolescent, reflect upon the promise and current reality of Dr. King’s dream. To what extent has the promise of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech been realized? How can leaders of the 21st century continue to bring Dr. King’s dream to fruition?
What he said was very strong for him to have a dream like that and to put it in a way where ever body understand was amazing he truly made me understand what was really going on with the blacks. If it weren’t for him I would not have some of the coolest friends on Earth. I think everybody should try to be a Martin Luther King Jr.
ReplyDeleteHe was hoping that people would not be judged by their skin color and that people races can come together and live in harmony. 50 years later people are no longer segregated but there are still others in the world who still judge people by their skin color, but for the most part we are equal
ReplyDeleteDr. King's dream is realized. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Indians, Islanders, ect, all live, learn, and are TOGETHER. That was one of his quotes, "Not judged by color, but by content of character." His dream is the dream of the American nation. This dream has made me realize that we aren't Black, White, Asain, Indian, but we are PEOPLE. Just people living in this world, together, as one.

I love this speech and now we do not have seperatness. My favorite part is were he really says I have a dream. I also like how he didn't just come out with it and how he lead up to it. i feel like I can carry on his dream by being nice to African Americans and by not saying no you can't have this because you are African American. I hope that you feel this way, too.

By now, induviduals have noticed deeply Martin Luther King's speech and his intention of it. People have reliased this not far from his death, but during that time period, it made no big impact till' the 21st Centuary. Today, induviduals can support and aknowledge (spelled wrong) his Speech, by not judging one's action by their skin, nor their appearance. Law also backs this up.

We should follow his words to lead to a better community because too muchracial injustice happens daily. :) Especially because we are so near to Martin Luther King Jr. day! Not enough people today of the adolescent popuklation knows enough about him and what he stood for in his day and i think that needs tochange. I dont exactly knw...but somehow they still need education about it.

ReplyDeletedr. king dreamed that boys and girls of all colors would be able to be together. that has happened today. if we look around at all of these people at school we realise how much segregation has been forgotten. but sadly, some people aren't as kind. we can help keep dr. king's dream a reality by being respectful. he said "we should not judge people by the color of their skin, but the content of their heart." what he is saying is that we shouldnt judge them because of their ethnicity, but by their personality. so if we would all try to get along the world will be more like dr. k's dream :)
ReplyDeleteI have a dream... probably one of the greatest quotes in all of american hiistory. martin luther king was a great man, a great leader, and overall a great person. he helped african americans gain rights that they never had before. over 50 years after that speech it is still very powerful today. he was a great civil rights leader.
ReplyDelete-chase reese
Dr. King's speech has a lot of similarities to the 21st centuries. Mississippi is now a non-segregated state like all the others, and people of all colors go to school together. Not very many people are racial now a days, and
ReplyDeleteeveryone has a free chance of doing whatever they would want to do. In his speech, Dr. Kings says that he pictures white boys and girls holding hands with black boys and girls, and he is correct. Whenevver you look around, you see people of all colors running and playing around.Even though he gave the speeck nearly 50 years ago, he was so inspiring that his words are still in our heads today. Even though he may not be alive to see it, he surely did have a great impact on the American society today.
MLK's dream has come pretty much true. There is no segregation and people aren't judged by color. We even have an African American president! We as leaders of the 21st century can help his dream by accepting all colors and races, and help others to feel the same way.

ReplyDeletei first want want to say that that without Martin Luther King i wouldnt have the education, friends, or life i have today. his famous speech said that " people should be judged by there skin color, but by the content of their charcte." to me, i think that really summed up how the world should be. leaders of today can trwat every human being equal no matter their skin color. if everyone in the world would do that, the world be a happier and more fair place. i still believe that racism is still out their, but that really needs to stop. all people are created equal, and thats how they should be treated. i sincerely want to thank Martin Luther King.
ReplyDeleteI have a dream. With these faithful word, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. brought a new hope that America, "the land of the free" will truly be that. "Where people will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Though these intelligent words with so much truth have been followed and respected, there are some that still believe that the blacks and the other colored people are not welcome and do not belong. These dreams need to be said again and again.

ReplyDeleteToday in American society much of what Dr. King dreaamed about has come to pass. Little boys and girls of different ethnicitys can hold hands. Blacks are allowed in schools that used to be only for whites. Blacks and whites sit down together, not as slave owner and slave, bou free poeple. Everybody is treated equal. Now we even have a black president. Leaders in the 21st century can continue and improve upon this by allowing even more freedoms upon the people.
ReplyDelete50 years after Dr. King's "I have a Dream Speech", America has made progress. Not enough progress however that there is not any rascism or judgment in the world. Not enough progress tht there isnt any cruel and biggetted people. No, we arent there yet, but then again we probably never will be.
ReplyDeleteBut we are much better. Since 1963, there has been a great wave of realization in this world. That all men were created equal. That no matter what the color of your skin is, you are a part of The United States of America. And the only thing we can do, is continue to get better. Continue to grow, as one.

Martin Luther King's speech made a great impact in eliminating segregation in America! His speech was inspirational and emotional and made everyone understand that there should be no segregation! He knew it was wrong in his heart to be seperated from the white people. In fact, his speech included all colors to not divide themselves, but work together! I found this speech truly inpirational!
ReplyDelete-Marvin :D
I think that the promises from Dr. King's speech where great promises. The promises from his "I Have a Dream" speech have been realized to the full extent after 50 years. Dr. King did a great thing for many people, and his work can still be continued. Leaders in the 21st century can help bring Dr. King's dream to fruition by being nice to all people and support equal rights for all people.
ReplyDeleteFifty years later, there still is some segragation. None that the government has put into action, but some just within people. They still have the notion that whites are better than blacks, or blacks are better than white. We haven't completely gotten rid of racism, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteFree speech is still part of our Consitution. Even if someone wanted to say something unacceptable to society, they could. But as the general population, we can look into people's hearts and ignore the skin color. Like Dr. King Jr. said, "...not judged by skin color but for the content of their character."
-Madison Hince
The segregation and racism of the 20th century is gone. Howver it is not completely abolished. There is still some discrimination. His promise has been recognised. He would be proud to know that his legacy has continued.KK
ReplyDelete"I have a dream that one day people will not be jugded by the color of their skin but by the content of their character"~Martin Luther King Jr.. Today in most places his dream has come true sadly he didn't live to see it. There are still a few people in this country that are still racist to African-Americans. My dream is when everyone has a place to sleep and something to eat; I hope one day it will come true. also that the world will be full of hapiness not anger and madness.~Emily C.
ReplyDeleteMany people in the 21st century we see that people of different races wouldn't be able to be with each other. that's why martin luther king went through that sowe can be together
ReplyDeleteThe U.S has come a very long way since Dr. King gave his "I have a dream" speech in 1963. Over the past 50 years, there is more and more liberation to people of all races. Its not as segregated as it used to be. Some parts in the south are still against the idea of blacks having all the opportunities. Some people dont believe that black people and white people should be able to date, get married, work together, etc. To me, it doesnt matter what they look like on the outside. its the inside that counts. "...NOT JUDGED BY SKIN COLOR BUT BY THE CONTENT OF CHARACTER... PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS...SISTERS AND BROTHERS..." -quoted by MLK's i have a dream speech...
ReplyDeleteHAIIIIIII

The black and white people werent aloud to be together and so he wanted to change that. So he made and awesome speech.
ReplyDeleteDr.King made an amazing improvment in the country. He belived that you don't need to have a specific color of skin to be a citizen with equal rights.
ReplyDelete-M.G.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great humanitarian who wanted to free all races from racism and prejudist comments. He wanted people to feel free and to be judged by their character not their color.So we need to treat everyone with respect and not judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe in racism. I agree with Dr. King. We are all god's children. God made black people, white people, asians, hispanics and many more. WE are ALL special! Just because I'm white doesn't mean I think lower of other races. My best friend growing up was black. I don't judge. Nobody has the right to judge but God himself and that is only when you enter the gates of Heaven.
ReplyDeletethey can stop dicriminating against woman and poeple with other races they dont even know them
ReplyDeleteDr.kings dream

Let freedom ring

Dr. Martin Luther Kinf wanted the nation to rise up. He wanted no more segregation. He wants blacks to be free. he wants frredom for the whole nation. He wants to tell us that we are free.
ReplyDeleteWhat has Martin Luther King Jr. done for the people? He has done everything. He made whites realize what they were doing and made his speech so powerful,that whites released this law. In Martin Luther King Jr. once said,"I have a dream that one day people will not be jugded by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." I think that that sentence right there is very powerful and Martin Luther King risked his life by saying that speech just for his citizens.
ReplyDeleteDr. King had many dreams,
ReplyDeleteHe had a dream that his 4 kids shouldnt be judged by their color, but by thir character and let freedom last. he wanted freedom in colorado, georgia, mississippi and many other countires.
i thought it was cool that he talked about the children that he would like the whites to not see them as a color but what was on the inside so i thought it was so cool how he did that and that he had a dream and now we do go walking around as equal and we have friend that are colored so he had a dream

ReplyDeletesegragation has come a long way and MLK was the one who accomplished ending it. we are all the same and cant be treated by the way we look. i think all his dreams came true and he would be proud to see us living together today.
ReplyDeleteDr. Kings dream can be accomplished by involving everyone in more community activities.
ReplyDeleteMartain Luther King Jr. wanted to end segregation and it has eneded. He also wanted freedom and we have freedom today. Lets try to keep these dreams within ourselves today and not go in another direction. Lets try to let M.L.K wanted today.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. gave the famous inspirational speech "I have a dream". One thing he said that is really inspiring is that people should not be judged by skin color but by the content of character. Tis is very true people should not discriminate the black people because of color. They should judge the character of the people.

The I Have a Dream speech, in 1963, was one of Martin Luther's most famous speeches. He talked about how one day people of all races can lived together in peace, and there will be no more segregation. He had a lot of followers that believed that along with him. He was a very great man. He said that people shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin, but by their content of character. hIs dream was true, because now today, everyone can live in harmony together. He was a very inspiring person, and helped people to get to where we are today.

Martin Luther King Jr's famous "I have a Dream speech" has changed the way the world looks at African Americans.People have changed their ways since then and blacks have gained a lot of rights. They are allowed to be in the same rooms, drink from the same water fountains, and eat at the same restaurants as people of a different color. "I have a dream that people will not be judged by the color of their skin..." - Martin Luther King Jr. His words have certainly changed the world and made it the better place it is today.

From MLK's dream people have started to realize that raceism is NOT right. His "i have a dream" speech was very powerful and made many people realize that segregation and treating blacks unfairly was cruel and unjustice. Now days the 21st centuryb is really working on stopping segregation, but it is pretty much already gone. Sydney Sutherland
ReplyDelete"I have a dream.." -Martin Luther

Martin Luther King Jr's speech symboled the freedom of everyone's equality in the world. He didn't care what others thought of him, as a result, many people believed in him.
ReplyDeletedr. martin luther king jr. wanted to end segregation and for people to be treated equaly. his dream has come true. we need to treat people based on their character not by their color. we need to carry on martin luther king jr.s dream and treat people the way you want to be treated.

ReplyDeleteJ.S
He touched many peoples hearts and changed many minds.He lifted peoples hearts and burdens!He was a very kind and wise man:)
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Junior's dream of equality and freedom between people of all races has come very far. It is not complete yet; but I believe that our naion as a whole, America, is full of people who work for freedom and goodness, even if they sometimes think that things will lead to freedom that don't. I believe that the vast majority of the people you pass on the street are people who would smile back regardless of what you are, if you smiled first. I believe that our nation has reason to say that we have come far. We have longer still to travel, but we've got a lot of road behind. We just need to learn to judge people based on who, not what , we are.
ReplyDeleteThe speech was very insperational and today in 2013 people have definetly changed and he is still honored. People today have more respect for him then they did because back then there were a lot more haters of him then compared to now.
ReplyDeleteI think Dr.King's speech was incredibly powerful and inspiring to so many people. It really me happy to see people of all races gathered together to see him speak. I was very moved by his passionate words of wisdom and I think his message should be carried on and encouraged in all of us.

ReplyDelete"Let freedom reign, over Stone mountain of Georgia, to the mountains in Tennessee." Great quote by MLK. Very true as well. Just because you are of diffenrent race, skin color, or anything that people believe should be discriminated, doesn't mean it is right.MLK was a good guy, and made his point very clear. As he would say, "Let freedom reign!"

Martin luther king changed the life of millions of people. Not only did he change the life of blacks, but he also changed the life of whites. He fought against racial discrimination on many different cases. His most famous speech was "I have a dream." I think a guy who was beat racialy discriminated against and shunned was pretty commited to the stop of racial descrimination.
ReplyDeleteI think that MLK's dream has been fully realized. There is a balnce between the races now, at least in America. Some people say that we could do more against segregation, but i think that would be unfair to white people then. The balance we have ow is perfect
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that he could say that in front of all those people. Haters included. He helped alot of people who were suffering by saying that speech. We should all try to live like he said and not care about peoples' color.

"I had a dream." Just those words trigger the memory of a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. He had a dream for america, that one day kids wouldn't be segregated, they would all come together, learn together, and not be judged by skin color but by content of characterization. That was 50 years ago. A lot has changed now. If he saw the improvment i'm sure he would be proud.

today as a whole eveyone is equal and no one is seperated for the way they look. this is important because i brings people togetther and is not to start a physical war and/or fight but instead of fighting agenst eachother instead of with eachother.today everyone is equal, now everone is equal no matter how differnt you look, i personally think that MLK wasnt only standing up for people with differnt color skin but also for people with disabilities and not just to let people be discriminated but to stand up for them!!!! <3

ReplyDeleteIt has been realized mostly, but there is still a lot of room for imporvement. It is not like the Ku Klux Klan does not exist anymore. However, he did change many. He deserves much credit for his work and I have a dream he will one day look down on Earth from Heaven and see his dream realized.
ReplyDeleteThe "I have a dream" speech is really important because it says what he believes to really be true and what he thinks would make America a better place.
ReplyDeleteMLK is absolutely epic. He wrote some of the best speeches in American history. he is truely inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational and moving speech. I believe that everything he said was true. Now people today aren't judged by color, but by their content of character.
ReplyDeleteHe changed le world. He stood up for his beliefs and made them true today. Le is strong.
ReplyDeleteI believe he is a man who devoted his life to fighting against racial discrimination. Le is a good role model.
MLK is a wise man with many accomplishments. He is a sucessful man that has helped many Afrian Americans stand up for they believed in. Sadly he never saw "freedom ring" but I think he knows it. I think he is looking down on the world making sure that us Americans are judged by charecter, and not by color. MLK was a man who has changed America and her future
ReplyDelete"I have a dream..." That's what Martin Luther King said when he gave his most famous speech. His dream came true in America. However all over the world, many countries still have racial problems. We, as citizens of the 21st century, should try to make Martin Luther King's dream come true all over the world.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr is a symbol of equality and anti segregation. He made a famous speech, I had a dream, and he inspired people. We still celebrate this great day because he was one of the most effective person to end the segregation. Thank you MLK :)

ReplyDeleteMartin Luthar King Jr. should be recognized as one of the bravest people ever to live. He had the courage to make all of those famous marches and speeches. He could have gotten himself put in jail, but he did it anyway. Wesley S.
ReplyDelete"I have a dream!" and "I wish that people were judged not by the color of their skin...but by the contense of their chareter." You may have heard one of these quotes said by Martin Luther King. Dr.King wanted all people to be treated equally. He is inspiring because no matter what he never gave up, and eventually he got what he wanted. We now live in a free country thanks to the help of Martin Luther King and many other leaders from this time period. I think Marin Luther King is also very insperational because he did not only want freedom for the African Americans, he wants the United States to be a great and mighty nation that it has evolved into today.
ReplyDeleteMLK's dream is now a reality, though unfortunately he was not there to see it happen. We can honor his work by extending it past just America, and maybe someday the whole world will be treated equal.

Martin Luther King was the greatest civil rights leader of all time. He made awesome speeches that called everybody to action against segregation. Since his time, his dream has been mostly realized. Children of all races do everything together now. If MLK could see the country now, he would start to cry. In a good way.
ReplyDeleteWhoever killed him will be reincarnated as a fly stuck to flypaper.
M.L.K was a dreamer with a wonderful dream, that all people should be equal, or as he said," a person should not be judged by his color, but of his charater." I believe that many world leaders should become more like him and try to make the world a better place, with a single dream.

MLK was a great leader and role model that many should look up to. Sadly, he didn't see what the results of his work.There is no more dicrimination and segragation. People "in da club" don't hate "cus of his race."
ReplyDeleteMarin Luther King Junior made an amazing impact on the US and his legacy still carries on today. I believe that he is one of the major factors of why our country is what it is today, and I think he would be overjoyed if he was here to see what America has overcome and turned into. I believe his dreams have come true; people of all different races are friends and co-workers. Thank you Martin Luther King for all you have ever done for our country!!!
ReplyDeleteMLK was an inspiration to many people in the "I Have A Dream" speech. He talked a lot about uniting whites and blacks because there isn't any difference in between. He also said that he didn't want to be judged by his skin color but by his character. That means a lot in people in general. In the background you could hear his followers shout ing things like "Amen!" and "Yes!" This really pushed the unity in America. Just think that there were white people in that crowd. That was probably one of the first times in that time period that all races joined together not caring if anyone had a different color of skin.

P.P.S. Well the guy went off a cliff!
Martin luther King Jr. had a dream. A dream that all people would be treated equal:)
ReplyDeleteDr. Martin Luther King Jr. You know what he had? He had a dream. A dream that one day, blacks and whites would be treated equally. That the little black girls and the little black boys would hold hands with the little white girls and the little white boys. That they would develop a strong, everlasting friendship. He dreamed that one day, people won't be judged by their skin color and that old wrongs will be made right. In his speech, he mentioned "the American Dream". This really stuck out to me. The American Dream is supposed to represent freedom and love for everyone. Back then, people weren't treated by the idea of the American Dream. I think that over the decades, Dr. King's dream has come true. People are treated with equality and love. They have the opportunity to really embrace the American Dream. I think we have made his dream very applicable to our lives today. As a future leader of the 21st century, I'm very happy with the progress our country has made with Dr. King's wishes in mind. I'm excited to see what else we can do to embrace his ideas in the future. But for now, I think we have a pretty good start.

I believe that the majority of MLK's speech has been upholded, like the part about being free of discrimination, all races of people uniting to solve the issues occuring all over the world, like poverty, disease, conflict, and corrupt government. Mostly, people are judging others for who they are. However, some judge by rumors. I believe making all this 100% complete should be the next objective of the leaders of 2013. I agree with his line "All people are created equal". More friendships are being made and it is thanks to MLK Jr.
